Blood drive sets high quota to beat day record
Frederick County faces a tough goal as donors must exceed this year’s largest single-day total of 232 pints at Camp Derrick. The Red Cross Blood Program chairwoman Mrs. Paul Willard urged last minute turnout at Calvary Methodist Church from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow where the Bloodmobile will process at least 50 donors. The nationwide push led by Mrs Mamie Eisenhower highlighted gamma globulin and serum albumen from each pint to fight polio and aid wounded soldiers. Catholic Daughters of St John’s Church will host and serve refreshments, with Red Cross staff and area nurses volunteering. High School students will assist with pre and post donation preparations.

Babson Sees Shifting Russia Policy After Stalin
Roger Babson argues Stalin’s death changes the war outlook. He notes Malenkov may tire Russia of conflict, while Britain pursues Hong Kong ties to avoid embargoes. He predicts a Korean truce in 1953 if satellites avoid provoking a broader war and warns on satellite uprisings if world war looms. He remains cautiously bullish on 1953 business prospects.
